Grizzly tablesaws

I would look closely at the information on each saw. But the obvious thing to me that jumped out when I read the info on both saws was that one was wired for 110 volts and the other was wired for 220 volts. I am sure there could be more diferences though.

The 575 is left-tilt. I have the 444Z ... right tilt, 220, cast iron wings, no complaints.

There are three similar models:

G0444: 1.5 HP, stamped metal wings $475 G0575: Left tilt version of G0444 $495 G0444Z: Just like G0444 but with 2HP and cast iron wings. $550. (I have this one). Google G0444Z on the wreck for lots of discussion on this saw, including several detailed posts by me. I am extremely happy with it! The "Aluma Classic Fence" is a Bies clone and is excellent.

If you can add a little more cash, you might consider the G0444Z. You get a little more horsepower and the cast iron wings. I think you'll find the investment well worth it in the long run.

Ah ... LT vs. RT. The extra half horsepower is very tempting, but (hope I don't start a firestorm here), I thought the consensus was that LT is a better way to go. You know, for safety reasons.

I don't think it will start a firestorm but the subject does come up fairly often. I agonized over the LT vs RT question for a while before I made the conversion with my Grizzly 1023s. After I used it for a week or two I forgot about the difference. The safety guys have good arguments but table saws in general require a great deal of caution.

If you go with the bigger machine I think you will appreciate the cast iron fence as much as the power. It will be heavier. Might consider a mobile base.

Are you absolutely sure you don't want a G1023?

Yeah, I was thinking that too when I posted my response. I absolutely love mine and I believe it is the best value available in the table/cabinet saw market.
